June 27 - 28 2009 - NJ/NY
New York Susquehanna & Western Railway, Southern Division
The Volunteer Railroaders Association is pleased to sponsor a 2-day run over the NYS&W Southern Division June 27th and 28th, 2009. On Saturday the participants will travel approximately 100 round-trip miles between Riverdale, NJ and Warwick, NY. On Sunday we will run approximately 60 round-trip miles between Riverdale, NJ and North Bergen, NJ. Operators and riders under 18 are not permitted by the railroad. Trip fee of $120.00 per car includes railroad costs. Lunches will be deli sandwiches on both days for an additional $9.00 per person, per day. ECs for the trip are KC Smith and Chris Vitz. There is a 40 car limit. This is a NARCOA insured excursion, and all NARCOA rules will apply. This is a non-mentoring run. The NYS&W requires that ALL operators must pass a Northeast Operating Rules Advisory Committee (NORAC) guidelines training class and test prior to the event. If you have a current NORAC certification please mail us copies that we can forward to the railroad. A class will be offered Friday night prior to the next day’s trip. To attend the event operators MUST attend the class and pass the test. If you have attended a previous class and have a current NORAC certification you will not need to attend. We are sorry for the inconvenience but this is a requirement of the railroad. Your NORAC certification will be good for two full years.
